Beelsby Model Flying Club's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight
He said: "The club was set up 40 years ago and the members' ages range from six to the early 80s, and we train people in building and flying radio controlled planes and aircrafts."It's a lifelong hobby for most of the guys at the group and is definitely a passion for them – we've got a hanger where they can store their planes and it's almost like a collector's hobby for them."Mr Carter said club events regularly attract members of the public, who enjoyed watching from their cars parked up nearby, and there are events coming up where they can take part.
He added: "On 17 May, we have an event for the public to join in with us, where five members of our group will train people to lift and land the planes."So far, we have 15 people booked on it and have five spaces remaining, and if it goes well, we will hold other events."Listen to highlights from Lincolnshire on BBC Sounds, watch the latest episode of Look North or tell us about a story you think we should be covering here.

Sensational show celebrating the music of Billy Joel extends UK tour into 2026
Following sold out tours across the UK and Europe, celebrated singer-songwriter and pianist Elio Pace and his incredible band are extending the run of their sensational, award-winning show The Billy Joel Songbook to include an Edinburgh date.

Originally announced as a 19-date run across England, Scotland and Wales this September and October, due to sensational public demand, the tour has now been extended into next year, with 14 brand-new dates added, including a performance at Usher Hall on Sunday, March 22. Tickets for the 2025 shows are available now, with 2026 dates going on sale 10 am Thursday, June 26 at Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Paying homage to one of the most iconic musicians, singer-songwriters and composers of the 20th century, The Billy Joel Songbook is billed as the greatest love letter ever to the genius that is Billy Joel. Elio Pace - The Billy Joel Songbook Transporting the audience through five decades of hits, Elio and his band will perform more than 30 songs from Joel's vast catalogue of 82 singles including The Longest Time, She's Always A Woman, An Innocent Man, Uptown Girl, Tell Her About It, The River of Dreams, We Didn't Start The Fire and Piano Man. 'We were completely blown away by the response to the 2025 dates - the demand has been truly incredible,' says Elio. 'Every time we take this show on the road, I'm reminded of the deep connection people have with Billy Joel's music. Extending the tour into 2026 is an honour we don't take lightly.' Over the last three years, The Billy Joel Songbook has played more than 50 sold-out venues in the UK and Ireland alone, and earlier this year, a special recording of the full show at London's Bloomsbury Theatre on Billy Joel's 75th birthday, was broadcast via BBC Sounds. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Elio added: 'When I first created The Billy Joel Songbook, I hoped it would strike a chord — but I never imagined it would grow like this. The passion people have for Billy Joel's music just keeps growing, and I feel so grateful to be able to celebrate it with audiences up and down the country.' The late broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan was a huge fan describing Elio as 'Only sensational,' and in 2010 he was the musical director for BBC Radio 2's Weekend Wogan performing as the featured artist on all 35 shows broadcast that year. Singer/songwriter, piano-player, producer and arranger, Elio has performed with a wonderful array of stars including Brian May, Huey Lewis, Glen Campbell, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Lulu, Mike Rutherford, Don McLean, Tom Chaplin, Debbie Reynolds and Martha Reeves to name but a few. In 2013 and 2014 he was invited to 'fill Billy Joel's shoes', starring in five very special reunion concerts in the USA with Joel's original 1971-72 touring band. Following on from the huge success of these American shows, Elio embarked upon the debut tour of The Billy Joel Songbook and has continued to sell out theatres ever since.

Lionesses star Jess Carter reveals how rugby roots helped footballing dreams
The England defender used to play rugby before fully committing to football In another life, Jess Carter could have spent this summer representing England on the rugby field instead of the football pitch. The England defender picked the round ball over the oval ball age 16 and has gone on to represent the Lionesses at two major tournaments. But if women's rugby had enjoyed the stature it does today, she could have lined up for the Red Roses as they go for glory themselves on home soil this summer. 'I loved rugby, I still to this day say I was better at it than football,' said the 27-year-old, as part of a new LG OLED TV collaboration ahead of this summer. 'But it just got to a point where I had to choose between one or the other, and at that time, when I was playing, I think football was developing and progressing at a much quicker rate than what I felt rugby was. 'I think that was why I continued with that, but I used to love playing it. It really helped from the team side of helping you to work together as a unit, all being on the same page, for sure. 'Being a defender, it is important that I win all of my individual battles, and that is the same on a rugby pitch. There is definitely a correlation between the two.' Discussing Women's Sport | Watching Changes Everything | LG x FA x RFU Carter was speaking ahead of a huge summer of sport, and LG is helping the nation get closer to the action with LG OLED TVs. Both the Lionesses and the Red Roses will be on free-to-air TV across the summer as they chase silverware. And for Carter, visibility is key to make sure that the next generation knows what is possible for them. She added: 'It is incredible, I would love to have been able to know that I could have been a female rugby player as a profession if I wanted to. 'But I felt like there wasn't really an option, it was just that I was playing women's rugby as a hobby. I didn't even know you could do rugby as a profession. 'Obviously now that is an option, and I think it is really amazing that the Red Roses are paving the way, similar to how we are, and they are now setting the standard. 'They are proving, like we are, that you can play anything you want to and compete at any level you want to.' Members of the two England women's teams caught up with LG at St George's Park recently as part of the leading TV manufacturer's ongoing partnership with The FA and the RFU. The LG All In Pledge encourages people to engage and watch women's sport. Together we can grow support through fandom and audience numbers to inspire new players to pick up the sport themselves, as watching changes everything. For more information, go to.
